Join us as we discuss the intricacies of Stray City with actor Humberly Gonzalez!Book Summary:Twenty four year old artist Andrea Moralez escaped her Midwestern Catholic childhood - and the closet - to create a home and life for herself within the thriving but insular lesbian underground of Portland, Oregon. But one drunken night, reeling from a bad breakup and a friend's betrayal, she recklessly crosses enemy lines and hooks up with a man. To her utter shock, Andrea soon discovers she's pregnant - and despite the concerns of her astonished circle of gay friends, she decides to have the baby.

In episode 95 the HUNKS are joined by amazing comedian and Outside Joker, Andrea Del Campo! Andrea starts things off by denying the existence of whales and sharing Tom Cruise tidbits with Dana and the gang. Rory Learns about The Slash (the border, not the guitar person) and Johnny Cash's run in with an authoritative ostrich. We get doughty with the Word of the Week and move into our next segment 'Breaking Andrea'! In this edition of 'Breaking Andrea' there's some serious under-spending at Winnipeg's city hall. Andrea is given a swatch of the city's budget to spend as she wishes and hot tubs, bike paths, Stray City, and so much more appears in the wake of Andrea, Citizen Spender.
